Eating priblems

Hi JaneyM1

Glad to hear that your eating had improved. 

I had chemotherapy and radiotherapy (no operation) in 2021, I'm 3 years clear. I still have to take small bites and chew thoroughly because my oesophagus is scarred and doesn't stretch as much as before. I'm a very slow eater. I also stick to a very plain diet, nothing spicy. I was told that if needed I could have my oesophagus stretched, but I'm ok as long as I stick to small bites & chew thoroughly. Occasionally something - usually bread - will take a while to pass down my oesophagus and I use that as a reminder to myself to be more careful. 

Take care,

Amanda 

Hi Crochetherapy

thanks for your reply like you l only had chemotherapy and radiotherapy no operation. Now feeling  a lot better after treatment just noticing this problem when eating like you I’m not very good when eating bread. I am having a scan in a few weeks so I will then know if the treatment worked . But I am feeling a lot better , not gaining much weight but I’m only eating  small amounts I think that will take a while

Wishing you all the best for continuing improvement xxx
